This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
This persuasion - `The persuasion;' a play on words akin in sound and in root х peismonee (G3988), persuasion: peithesthai (G3982), "obey," Galatians 5:7]. The readiness to obey those who oppose truth.
Cometh not of - from Him, but from the Father of lies. Ye obey not truth; ye are ready to obey its hinderers. Ellicott takes persuasion as 'the act of persuading.' Rather (as the Greek commentators), it is the state of being persuaded. The paronomasia favours this.
That calleth you (Galatians 5:13; Galatians 1:6; Philippians 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:24). The calling is the rule of the whole race (Bengel).
